Hanuman Vatika

In rourkela , one of the biggest attraction today besides the steel plant is The famous Statue of Lord Hanuman which measures 74 feet and 9 inches.I remember i was in standard 4 when it got inaugurated(1994).It was inaugurated by Biju Pattnaik.He came with a helicopter and i was quite fascinated with a helicopter,since then i had rarely seen a helicopter and for me , helicopter was more amusing then the vatika!!!!

Still many tourists who come to rourkela visit this temple.This beautiful garden also consits of temples of lord jagganath,krishna,rama,Maa vaishno devi,Maa vimala>dint remember all,but its a cluster .In midof the beautiful vatika,is a shiva parvati statue and there is a small fountain coming out from Shiva's jatayu!!!

(Depicting Ganga).

It has a very peaceful atmosphere,I remember, i had spent many evenings and mornings in vatika just meditating .I have attending numerous thread ceremonies and marriages there,,its always one of my favorite spot where i love spending time with my family and friends
